No Cake for Jaffe

Mistaken identity from our field reporters led to us mistakenly eliminating Larry Jaffee from our chip counts earlier in the day, and just as we were rectifying the error and resurrecting his cyber life, out he went.

Pushing all in under the gun with Q-Q, Jaffee was looked up in the big blind by Scott Zakheim who had A-J.

Although Jaffe survived the {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop, the {A-Diamonds} was a cruel blow, the {6-Diamonds} failing to supply a third lady and sending him home.

A good sport, Jaffe was all smiles as he left and clearly happy with his performance.

Boyd Up

Terry Boyd is up to 200,000. Most recently he made giganto-stack Brendan Keenan fold a hand, raking in a chunky pot for himself.

Keenan had raised to 7,500 from the button preflop and Boyd had called from the small blind. He checked to Keenan on the {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {7-Spades} flop, and Keenan bet 10,000 -- but folded when Boyd raised to 2,000.

A Bitter Pill to Chou

Keven Song and John Chou have clashed once again, and this time Chou has been eliminated.

All in for 44,800 on the {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} flop, Chou was ahead with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} against Song's {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, but a cruel runner-runner straight for Song on the {9-Hearts} turn and {J-Hearts} river sent Chou to the rail. Song is up to 165,000.

Shorr Leave

Shannon out, shorr-ly not?
Shannon out, shorr-ly not?
Bruno Fitoussi is unstoppable today, his stack now climbing to a chip-lead threatening 350,000.

The latest player to suffer at the hands of the French veteran was Shannon Shorr, the young American hotshot moving all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, but being called by Fitoussi's superior {a-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

An {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop dashed any of Shorr's hopes, the {5-Hearts} turn confirming defeat before the academic {8-Clubs} river.

Nguyen Takes a Hit

Scotty Nguyen has taken a bit of a hit courtesy of monstrous stack Alon Shahar.

Keven Stammen raised to 8,000 from the button, only for Shahar to make it 28,000 from the small blind. Big blind Nguyen made it an enormous 58,000 and Stammen got out of the way, but Shahar called.

The flop came down {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} and Shahar bet out 60,000. Nguyen passed.

Nguyen now on 116,000, Shahar now up to 449,000.
